SEAT BELT MAINTENANCE
Clean and Inspect
Keep the belt dry. Clean with a mild
soap solution and lukewarm water.
Periodically inspect the following areas
and replace any inadequate parts:
Buckle and Latchplate — The buckle
and latchplate should mate easily with a
solid click and release easily and quickly
with moderate pressure on the release
button. All metal seat belt components
should be free of signs of damage,
corrosion or rust.
Webbing — The webbing should show
no signs of wear, fraying or holes, and it
should be reasonably free of dirt which
could nd its way into the retracting
mechanism.
Retractors — The retractors should
function smoothly and maintain an
appropriate amount of tension. Loose
webbing is an indicator that
maintenance is needed; it's likely that a
too-loose belt will fail to tighten properly
when necessary.
Seat Belt Mounting Components — The
tethering should be free of wear and
debris; the webbing should show no
signs of wear, fraying or holes; and the
metal components should be free of
signs of damage, corrosion or rust.
